Weight Lifting/Body Building/Strong Man/Training thread

Nice! So stretched like a crazy man yesterday and today. My legs are sore but not enough for me to notice it, only when the wife grabs and squeezes em which gets a death glare. Trying to convince her to get a foam roll and some form of hard ball for those hard to reach places. I'm slowly starting to see my ability to stretch come back

I swear days off I feel worse than the day on/day off routine :rofl:

Currently stuck on whether I wanna do the switching cycle, which is negatives, cleans, and box squats for two weeks.

 

[minerigger]

That doesn't sound like much fun not gonna lie. What's a negative in the aspect you are referring to?

Crushed my chest, triceps, and calves today. Week 3&4 of the program all the last sets end in a 20% drop set to failure. Bench and incline bench felt amazing today.

Got a phone call middle of a bench set and it cut the music so I was all sorts of thrown off and ground of the set and answered the call. Glad I did as I got hired by the city part time to do rigging for concerts and such at our event center. Supposedly pay is upper 20's to low 30's so fingers crossed that's the case. Not what I'd ideally like to do forever but I'm pretty good at rigging so can't pass this up.

Keep crushing it everyone and thanks for all the pointers and motivation to keep lifting. Starting to see it pay off in the gym

Loading the bar with more than you know you can do and just setting the safety bars higher than normal. Do a controlled descent and unload/rack/repeat

Never done them, box squats or cleans. :roflmao:

 

[minerigger]

That sounds time consuming as hell. I've done box squats 2 times before...I felt they were a waste of time but that was 12 years ago and I was alot dumber, had a bigger ego and was alot more chicken legged so anything legs was dumb to me lol. I'd be lost trying to do a clean...have to go get a croasfitter to show me how lol

Tossing a bunch of weight straight up to my face, what could possibly go wrong :joker:

Gonna try for 225, just doing sets of three so who knows.

This is for the few that post here and the many that click on the thread and read wether it means anything to them or not.


If you have a wife and truely love her, sit down with her and tell her. Express it in anyway you can think of..

Serious relationship/ wife status- take her on dates, quit working on your own shit and take some time out for her, take her on dates, tell her she is beautiful even though she wears the same clothes weekly, show her you love her don't just tell her, if she is the love of your life treat her like it.

Basically what I'm saying is don't be like me and work your life away and forget about the one who means the most to you.

Well said Corbin. Looks like I'll be doing dishes and laundry again when I get home

 

[SmokeShow]

Well said, Corbin! :thumb:

Sometimes I wonder how some guys seem to get away without doing that stuff - I could never spend the amount of money &/or time on my truck(s) or any other hobby that some dudes do on theirs. That would go over like a lead balloon! I could, and need to do a little better at making her feel more special though.

I just wish I had lived by what I posted earlier.. Hell I didn't know any better and now it's looking like im going to loose her to my foolishness..

Seriouy guys, treat your lady like she needs to be treated, now not later when it's to late.

Congrats. Remember why you fell in love with her, never forget that. Take her out at least once a week just you two and be there emotionally and physically for her. Biggest thing of all... Communicate with her, not just hey how was your day. Actually communicate. Set the phone down when you walk in the house for the night and spend time with her.

Ya know I don't know you personally Corbin but hearing that crushes me. I hope all works out for you two. I'll be praying for ya sir...told my wife when we got married if it came down to it all the stuff I have fun with could leave. Trucks come and go and performance is ever changing. I'm learning that and looking back and shaking my head at why I spent what I did and why I even changed what worked. Keep your chin up bud it'll all work out.

My best advice to anyone would be to pick up your Bible and start going to church. If you want to change it has to start inside. Bring the wife or gf with and it'll make that bond stronger.

Where 1 strand is easily broken 3 are not easily defeated...words to live by.

Now go crush some weights with her and clear your head

Well said Brock. My wife and I and kids are big into God and church. A friend told my wife to draw a triangle and put God on the top point, you at one bottom point and your spouse at the other bottom point and as you both move toward God you will be moving towards each other as well.

Corbin, we will be praying for you as well man!

Brock, thanks.. The ball is in her court right now. I've been trying for the last 2 months to redeem myself, I've done literally everything I can think of and anything someone has told me to try. She has just shut down tword me. We are a church family and thank everyone for their prayers.
